Zhao Zian looked at the parasite in front of him with great satisfaction.
It is slightly weaker in combat than a springtail, but it hatches quickly and can absorb the flesh and blood of its enemies.
Once hatched on the battlefield, it can immediately join the battle, making it an excellent cannon fodder unit.
It's okay even though it will shut down on its own after an hour.
Anyway, the body left behind after it dies can be taken back to the hive and recycled into protein to produce new Zerg units!
The main focus is on saving money and avoiding waste.
Okay, now here's the question.
How do we put this insect egg into the enemy's body?
Zhao Zian pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.
It's very simple, just give the parasite a host, right?
In Zhao Zian's memory, the Warhammer Tyranids had a combat unit that could parasitize enemies.
Motex parasite.
This parasite is similar to a large bat.
It has spiked forelimbs used for attack.
But its most prominent feature is a large tail with barbs.
The large tail is hollow in the middle, which can be used to store insect eggs inside the enemy's body.
Once the insect's sharp tail pierces the enemy's body, the insect eggs will parasitize the enemy and destroy the enemy's body from the inside.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zian immediately began the genetic modification process.
We can use the original gene template of flying insects.
Flying insects possess agile flight speed and powerful attack capabilities.
Although it is a lightly armored unit with weaker defensive capabilities, it doesn't really matter.
The genetic template of the flying insect is quite similar to that of the Mortex parasite of the Tyranids.
All that's needed is to add a hollow, spiked tail at the end, which can be used to produce insect eggs.
...
The new unit was quickly and successfully renovated.
Zhao Zian named it: Flying Parasitic Mother.
Because it borrows the genetic template of flying insects, many steps are saved, and the modification is very fast.
The flying parasitic mother is not much different from flying insects in general.
The main difference is the addition of a tail covered in barbs.
Moreover, its tail is long and thin, similar to that of a scorpion.
At the very end of its tail is a sharp needle made from an exoskeleton, which can easily pierce the skin and external defenses of an enemy.
The needle has an extremely fine hollow fallopian tube at its center.
Parasite eggs can be produced through this needle.
However, normal insect eggs are relatively large, so in order for the eggs to enter the syringe of this needle.
Zhao Zian also specially modified the genes of the insect eggs to make them extremely small.
In this way, the insect eggs can easily enter the enemy's body, and even if the enemy wants to dig them out, it will be difficult to find them.
If I were to use normal insect eggs from the past, they would be visible to the naked eye.
If the enemy is ruthless, they might just tear open your flesh, find the insect eggs, and throw them away, making it impossible for you to parasitize them.
In the egg stage, parasites are extremely vulnerable and have absolutely no means of resistance.
Once fully grown, the parasite's basic combat strength will be slightly weaker than the springtail, around 70-80% of its original strength.
Furthermore, the parasite can also obtain an additional portion of the host's energy!
With its basic combat strength, plus the host's portion of strength, the parasite's full strength after production is very likely to be close to, or even surpass, that of the jumping worm!
The flying parasitic mother worm itself also possesses powerful combat capabilities.
After all, the template is based on flying insects, and the combat is basically the same as that of flying insects.
It can constantly harass and bite enemies, and can also cut with the sharp exoskeleton at the outer end of its wings.
However, it has an extra tail and an organ used to produce eggs.
With the added extra weight, the flight speed will decrease slightly, but the attack and defense capabilities will be on par with flying insects.
However, the reproductive organs of the flying parasitic worm can only be used to produce parasites.
The genes of other Zerg units are not compatible with the Flying Parasite Queen.
Therefore, it cannot produce all Zerg units like the queen ant.
That's normal, though, if they could produce all units.
If you put a war monster directly inside the enemy's body, wouldn't the enemy explode?
...
Zhao Zian instructed the queen ant to begin producing new flying parasitic larvae.
The number of other Zerg units also increased dramatically.
Tens of thousands of mantis corpses were relentlessly consumed by the Zerg, constantly being transformed into new combat units.
Among them are more than 10,000 high-ranking mantis monsters, whose flesh and blood are rich in nutrients.
On the previous battlefield, there were still a large number of worker ants carrying away the spoils of war.
The power of death on the battlefield was also absorbed by Zhao Zian through Xiao Er as a medium.
The fragments of the Death God's throne shone even brighter.
Zhao Zian originally planned to transform the corpse of the Blade Mantis leader into an undead creature.
However, he discovered that his strength would decrease significantly after turning corpses into undead creatures.
Originally, the Blade Mantis was only at the early Platinum level, and its corpse was torn to shreds by the Flesh Stitch.
Even if it transforms into an undead creature, it would probably only have the strength of a gold-level being.
Many skills are unusable, and physical defense has also been greatly reduced.
Furthermore, mantises are a species known for their agility and quickness.
After becoming an undead creature, your limbs will become very stiff and your agility will decrease significantly.
Even the most prized strength of the Scyther will be neutralized...
A praying mantis moving stiffly and slowly...
Let's forget about it.
Furthermore, transforming a corpse into an undead creature will consume resources based on the corpse's strength in life.
The effort required to achieve Platinum-level combat power, resulting in a weak Gold-level force, is hardly worthwhile.
Zhao Zian sighed and looked at the flesh-stitched monster.
This flesh-stitched monster should be considered a gifted undead creature; I wonder how that goblin priest managed to do it.
The ability to rapidly increase one's strength simply by devouring ordinary flesh and blood is an insane skill.
Even Zhao Zian suspected that if this monstrous, flesh-and-blood monster wasn't under his control...
If it grows wildly in the wild, it will probably become the ultimate undead creature in a while!
He could even become the Emperor of the Dead!
Put these thoughts aside.
The Zerg hive continues to produce combat units at a rapid pace.
Zhao Zian planned to immediately launch an attack on the next dominant race.
Because the dominant creatures in the forest are unaware of the terror of the Zerg.
For the past ten days or so, the Zerg have remained very well hidden.
However, once the Zerg made their move, they were found to possess terrifying strength.
Other races will then be on guard, making it much more difficult to attack them.
Therefore, we must act before the enemy has fully reacted.
Maximize our gains and let this snowball effect!
